Innomar Smart Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

Innomar Smart Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler
Innomar Smart is the smallest member of the Innomar sub-bottom profiler family. Designed for inshore surveys in shallow waters down to 100 metres water depth using small boats, it is also suitable for coastal areas. Because of its small size and lightweight design, the system is convenient even on the smallest boats and is ideal for integration into uncrewed remotely or autonomously operated vehicles (USV/ASV). The system supports both remotely controlled and fully autonomous operations. The topside unit is controlled via Ethernet (LAN / WiFi) using any Windows based PC or tablet.
Innomar smart model acquires full-waveform data that can be processed with any seismic software (SEG-Y format). Innomar also provides the ISE post-processing software specialized on the Innomar SBP data.
